When I’m older, I want to be a handball player because I like this sport and I play handball.

My favourite subjects at school are P.E. and maths. I like P.E because I like sports.

WOODCRAFT CONSTRUCTION KIT

Això és una altre cosa que m’agrada molt fer: són peces de fusta una mica fines que tens que treure segons les instruccions que et donen en un full, cada peça té uns números en concret (al voltant de 190 números en total). Es dura mes o menys 1 o 2 hores. Quan acabes de enganxar totes les peces amb els seus numerals, aconseguiràs fer una figura o un animal de fusta que surt a la portada, quan acabes pots pintar-lo però això es cosa de cadascú: per exemple, jo no ho pinto perquè m’agrada mes de color marró.
Aquí os deixo un exemple d’una d’aquestes figures.

Temple of heaven

Komodo dragon

The Komodo dragon lives in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Padar.
It is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 meters and a weight between 70 and 90 kg. It is brown and it has a tail as long as its body. It also has a long, yellow, deeply forked tongue and its saliva contains a lot of bacteria that it uses to hunt other animals.
Komodo dragons are carnivores and they eat mostly carrion.

Origami

M’agrada molt fer papiroflèxia quan tinc estones lliures a casa meva, especialment coses de Jo Nakashima (nascut el 20 de juliol de 1983) i de Tadashi Mori (nascut el 25 d’agost de 1985). Els dos són artistes que pengen vídeos a youtube sobre origami explicant cada pas per a poder fer figures de papiroflèxia.

Aquí os deixo un vídeo d’en Jo Nakashima on explica pas a pas com fer un lloro de paper.

Espero que os agradi aquest vídeo i a veure si algú s’anima a fer-lo.
